Janie went to Auntie Patty’s house to hang out with her pals Zoe, Kylie, Kaitlyn, and Lauryn this afternoon.

She followed them around and they let her into their Girls Only Club.  Grown-ups weren’t allowed so Mommy stood at the door and watched the girls pow-wow together.

Kaitlyn, the oldest of the gang, took good care of her and helped her up the stairs and into the laundry basket “boat”.

She got a lot of practice on the stairs this afternoon and mastered going down the stairs on her own.

Mochi, Koa’s brother, also lives at the house and Janie was delighted to see him.

She would point to him and call out “Go-Go!” and followed him around the house.  She tried to snuggle him a few times but he would just run away – unlike Koa who would just sit and take it.
